Onward (2020) 88% B- EDIT “It really is a fun movie, even if the theme might be a little weird for the very young to grasp.” – Cleveland Plain Dealer Mar 2, 2020 Full Review The Call of the Wild (2020) 63% C- EDIT “The Call of the Wild is a classic because London's ability to describe the harsh reality of life in the Yukon during the Klondike gold rush in vivid, unblemished terms. This telling is better retitled "The Call of the Mild."” – Cleveland Plain Dealer Feb 18, 2020 Full Review A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood (2019) 95% A EDIT “Hanks delivers a powerful performance as Rogers. He wears the cardigan and canvas boat sneakers as if he were born into them, and speaks with Rogers' trademark guileless transparency without even a hint of parody.” – Cleveland Plain Dealer Feb 14, 2020 Full Review Sonic the Hedgehog (2020) 64% B EDIT “It's got quite a bit of the pizzazz that made the video game... such a global smash. But it's the innocence and personality that actor Ben Schwartz is able to impart in the character that makes Sonic so sweet.” – Cleveland Plain Dealer Feb 13, 2020 Full Review The Gentlemen (2019) 76% B- EDIT “It's a little too quick to be tidy, like sweeping the dust under the rug instead of out the door. And yet, it's a 100 percent enjoyable movie, not too long and because of Ritchie's penchant for quick cuts, no time to be bored.” – Cleveland Plain Dealer Jan 24, 2020 Full Review Dolittle (2020) 15% A EDIT “Robert Downey Jr. returns to the big screen, not as a genius scientist in a high-tech suit saving people and the world, but as a genius doctor in a battered top hat saving animals and the world in the delightfully funny, wonderfully cast Dolittle.” – Cleveland Plain Dealer Jan 16, 2020 Full Review Underwater (2020) 48% EDIT “Remember how Jaws made you afraid to go into the water? Underwater makes you afraid to go into the theater.” – Cleveland Plain Dealer Jan 9, 2020 Full Review 1917 (2019) 88% A EDIT “This film, though, with its gritty reality, is so much more -- a social commentary, even.” – Cleveland Plain Dealer Jan 6, 2020 Full Review Cats (2019) 19% B EDIT “It's a fun watch, even if it's not... Purrfect.” – Cleveland Plain Dealer Dec 19, 2019 Full Review Uncut Gems (2019) 91% B- EDIT “Adam Sandler almost always plays Adam Sandler, a likable, sometimes funny jokester. But when he steps away from that, as he does in Uncut Gems, he proves that he is a true actor.” – Cleveland Plain Dealer Dec 17, 2019 Full Review Spies in Disguise (2019) 77% EDIT “While it sounds on the surface like a bird-brained idea, it's a little bit of an eggs-istential genius. A feather in the collective caps, if you will, of directors Nick Bruno and Troy Quane, and writers Brad Copeland and Lloyd Taylor.” – Cleveland Plain Dealer Dec 16, 2019 Full Review Dark Waters (2019) 89% B EDIT “It's not a great movie, from an acting standpoint... But that's not really the point here. The film should serve as a reminder of the dangers in repealing all the environmental protections that have been put into place over the years.” – Cleveland Plain Dealer Dec 2, 2019 Full Review Midway (2019) 42% B- EDIT “Harrelson continues to prove his range as an actor, giving an understated performance -- almost to the point of somnambulance.” – Cleveland Plain Dealer Nov 6, 2019 Full Review Jojo Rabbit (2019) 81% A EDIT “After seeing a screening of director-screenwriter Taika Waititi's film I fear my brain put it in the context of today's hate-fueled climate here in America, and I woke up terrified. Again and again and again.” – Cleveland Plain Dealer Oct 28, 2019 Full Review Zombieland: Double Tap (2019) 68% B+ EDIT “It's just fun. Pure, bloody, gory, silly, laugh-provoking fun.” – Cleveland Plain Dealer Oct 16, 2019 Full Review Gemini Man (2019) 27% B+ EDIT “It's the lesson of the "Gemini Man" that makes it more than a fun piece of fluff entertainment. And that lesson is pretty simple: War should not be painless.” – Cleveland Plain Dealer Oct 10, 2019 Full Review Aquarela (2018) 87% B EDIT “It's a frightening, galvanizing, awe-inspiring 90 minutes in which water and water alone is the main character.” – Cleveland Plain Dealer Sep 26, 2019 Full Review Abominable (2019) 83% B EDIT “The picky eaters in the audience won't even realize they were chowing down on broccoli... and loving it.” – Cleveland Plain Dealer Sep 23, 2019 Full Review David Crosby: Remember My Name (2019) 92% B- EDIT “Crosby is making amends the only way he knows how, really... To his credit, that wonderful voice has remained pure and strong, and he's using it to get out all he has to say, as quickly as he can.” – Cleveland Plain Dealer Sep 3, 2019 Full Review Don't Let Go (2019) 42% C+ EDIT “The best twist, though, is that the story never really slips into the realm of totally implausible, even though by definition, it sort of is anyway. Credit for that goes in part to the Shakespearean-trained Oyelowo.” – Cleveland Plain Dealer Aug 28, 2019 Full Review The Peanut Butter Falcon (2019) 95% A EDIT “Gottsagen is the ultimate Method actor. He doesn't "inhabit" the role, because for him, it's not a role. He literally IS the man determined to overcome an obstacle, and he's amazingly honest and wonderful in doing it.” – Cleveland Plain Dealer Aug 19, 2019 Full Review Dora and the Lost City of Gold (2019) 85% B EDIT “Starring Clevelander Isabela Moner as the bilingual Dora, it's fun, intelligent and just a smidge trippy.” – Cleveland Plain Dealer Aug 6, 2019 Full Review The Art of Racing in the Rain (2019) 44% B+ EDIT “If the Academy gives out animal Oscars, Parker [the golden retriever] should get one. And if it doesn't, it should start. Now.” – Cleveland Plain Dealer Aug 6, 2019 Full Review Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw (2019) 67% A EDIT “It's hardly boring. As a matter of fact, it may be one of the most entertaining action movies you'll see this year.” – Cleveland Plain Dealer Jul 31, 2019 Full Review The Fall of the American Empire (2018) 60% C EDIT “There are some sweet moments in the film, and a couple of extremely violent ones, quite frankly, not enough to earn the film's R rating. But overall, the movie is just a question mark.” – Cleveland Plain Dealer Jul 8, 2019 Full Review
